YES ON I-522! IT'S OUR RIGHT TO KNOW!

WASHINGTON INITIATIVE TO LABEL GMO FOODSSubmitted to Shelton Blog by Pat JerrellsMason County ProgressiveIf you would like to know what is in your food by
genetic manipulation, such as insertion of fish genes into corn, or
inserting bacteria or herbicides and pesticides into the genetic
makeup of fruits and vegetables, you can sign a petition at
Healthy Benefits Market at 825 W. Franklin Street in downtown Shelton, or Fresh Start Market & Deli on 2810 East Spencer Lake Road, and
in Olympia at Traditions Cafe (300 5th Ave. SW), or the Olympia Food Co-ops (3111 Pacific Ave. SE, and 921 Rogers St. NW) among many other locations throughout the state. A complete list of petition locations is available on the Label It Wa website.

The petition I-522, "The People's Right to Know Genetically
Engineered Food Act", is an initiative to the Washington State
legislature to establish mandatory labeling of foods produced
through genetic engineering, so the public has a choice.

Label It Wa's goal is to gather 320,000 signatures by December 31,
2012, to ensure we have at least 241,153 valid signatures needed
to get I-522 on the ballot. Anyone who would like to volunteer to
collect signatures, such as outside grocery stores, or if you have
a place of business and want to have a petition on the counter, can go online at
www.labelitwa.orgor emaillabelitwa@gmail.com, or
call 253-256-1921.
